Project CARS arrives on Steam for backers, slick new trailer released

Ogle that pre-alpha footage.

Supporters of Project CARS should fire up their Steam clients, because the developers have announced that future builds of the game will be available in a convenient form through Valve’s distribution network.

“Aside from making the build downloading process more convenient, Steam will also be used to add several community-related features to Project CARS in the future,” reads the announcement.

If you’re a Project CARS supporter, you can get information on how to access the Steam build through this link (registered users only). A search for the game on Steam brings up no results, so presumably this is restricted to supporters only.

In the meantime, why not ogle at the trailer below cut together from pre-alpha footage by a Project CARS community member?

The appropriate balance is choice. People like me can get DRM-free copies of stuff, people like you can choose to use DRM-infested Steam/Uplay/Origin/whatever.

That’s how the Humble Bundle people do it, and I like it. The funny thing is, I’m more likely to register their stuff on my Steam account for convenience, because I know I can always get a DRM-free copy if I want to.
